Based on a true story, Dieter Dengler (Christian Bale) is a fighter pilot shot down during the Vietnam war. Taken hostage at a POW camp, Dengler arranges a masterful escape plan to get away from his sadistic captors.
2007 started out slow, but over the last month I've seen 5 flicks will will most likely make my TOP TEN list for the year. Rescue Dawn will be one of those 10. Bale is awesome as Dengler. Steve Zahn also gives a great supporting performance as a fellow captive. Jamie says "8".
Rescue Dawn is directed by Werner Herzog. He directed 2005's Grizzly Man, the documentary that taught us that crazy people shouldn't cohabitate with bears.
